how their love blossomed

some 2 weeks past in a flash ,it was a hectic rush teaching simon the ropes but he was familial with this business spiel,he was somewhat of a tycoon 2 years ago he handed the bussiness over to his foster brother when he was at BTC last time and lennon paid a sum into his account each month.

as the work week began amy for once could rest assured knowing her man had her back.

so there she was sitting at home with her sleeping children drinking a coffee while daydreaming.

year one anniversary week.

Graham had planned an intimate meal at home and a special walk .

she got ready as he prepared dinner....when she walked into the room her charcoal haired,5ft 9inch husband came towards her,

his chocolate skin shining in the candle light.

his teddy bear like stance made her melt he was everything she ever dreamed of,

not romance novel cheesy just a regular good guy raised right by his practicing Muslim family as was she raised right by hers...both equally having a stable loving family producing well rounded human beings.

see there was no magic formula just good ole fashioned love,respect and trust.

as they enjoyed thier evening they realised they were blessed to have each other.

meanwhile nearby a very sad depressed guy was alone and with an unknown past,damaged beyond repair....he neither had a good background nor a family worthy of mention and whom he loved was another's

his best friend's wife.

as they neared their 8th year of marriage he went to the doctor as he felt odd.

they took tests and the results today defeated him.

he had but 4 yrs to live but he knew she wouldn't take it.

so he hid the meds and letters at his best friends address.

the letters would come every 3 months.

one day on the 9th year

simon opened the envelope of his best friend's letter and was appalled at the conclusion of it l.

he had to call Graham immediately.

"salam brother the news this month isn't great.....it says you have but months....I'm sorry....so sorry brother"

Graham replied and it shocked him what he said

"it's the will of Allah and he does what he wills....listen I know you love amy possibly more than me..... can you take care of her for me and love her more than she needs....I've spoilt her so bare with it and one day when you feel less jelous give her the letter and gift from me...I gotta go simon salam"

present day

as simon looked over the taxes for the week he leaned back thinking of his best friend whom was nothing but good to him,

he helped him set up his business and was there when he had no family,

he even knew his past but always stood by him and wasn't disgusted or afraid.

he thought if the letter after all these years later he felt guilty his friend had seen through him.

he picked up the phone to tell her about it.

"amy listen please don't interrupt. ..Graham left you a letter and a box it's in the loft"

he explained about thier last conversation and to his surprise she wasn't angry she said it was good he could talk to her.

she said its progress that he could even talk about Graham with no hatred.

to be honest he loved him as a brother and it hurt when he found out he was leaving this earth but the guilt of wanting amy made him burn.

but again Graham made that easy for him too and look how he treated her not that he could recall much these days.

only problem is she didn't know the deep past her present and past love shared,neither did she know about Simon's involvement in concealing Graham's illness but that was another days problem.
